That bothered me too, and seems like a bad analogy on top of it all. It presented the idea of an arms race between the bacteria and mosquitoes. Is there actually evidence that bacteria have altered their quorum sensing mechanism due to mo

To expand on your comment, it seems to me that the method by which they tested only gave results for which target they found more attractive. "Silencing your bacteria" would still result in non-zero attractiveness due to other fa

Reddit would have had my support if they enforced the rules as you say. Unfortunately Reddit chose instead to enforce the brand new harassment rule, ban the sub, ban the mods, and then ban any sub that even looked like FPH. It would have b
